Concrete repair and replacement in Lubbock
Clay soils, drainage problems and tree roots can crack and lift concrete over time. The right fix depends on the cause.
- Hairline cracks: usually cosmetic; can be cleaned and sealed.
- Wider cracks with no movement: can be routed and filled with a flexible sealant.
- Sunken slabs: can sometimes be lifted by slab jacking or foam injection, at a lower cost than replacement.
- Heaved, broken or crumbling sections: usually need removal and replacement, ideally with better base preparation and drainage.
Fix the cause first
If water is pooling against a slab or gutters are emptying onto it, sort that out before or during the repair — otherwise the same problem tends to come back.
Frequently asked questions
Can you replace just one section of a driveway?
Often yes, if the damage is limited to one or two panels between control joints. The new section may look slightly different in colour.
